Rich in Purpose Poor in Pride

If Pride Comes Before a Fall, Then Humility Is the Launching Pad to Success!

Beschreibung

Born and raised in Detroit, Michigan, Richard Allen could have just been another statistic. But faith in Yahweh (God), coupled with hope and perseverance has allowed him to thrive amid arduous circumstances. In a cautionary retelling of his personal experiences penned from a prison bunk, Allen shares insight into his path through life with the hope of helping the urban, at-risk population to both navigate (and stay on) the path to success by identifying the potential pitfalls that may hinder progress. While sharing lessons learned and wisdom intended to guide others to adequately prepare for the future, Allen encourages those at risk to be proactive while facing challenges, to find the hidden blessings, transform their mindset, and pay attention to the little details and subtle compromises that are not conducive to forward progression in life. Rich in Purpose, Poor in Pride is an inspirational handbook filled with personal stories and practical wisdom shared to guide and keep those at risk on the narrow path to success.

Autor

Richard Allen was the pen-name of James Moffat, born in Canada in 1922. Moffat was prolific, though one repeated claim that he was the author of "at least 290 novels in several genres under at least 45 pseudonyms" still requires independent verification. It is known that Moffat contributed to an early draft of the novel Somewhere in The Night, which was later completed (or entirely rewritten - sources differ) by Michael Moorcock and published under the pseudonym Bill Barclay in 1966. However it was Moffat's gritty youthsploitation novels, published in the 1970's and early 1980's under the name Richard Allen, that form the bulk of his legacy today. The Joe Hawkins story began in Skinhead (1970) and was continued in Suedehead (1971). Later there were further instalments in Joe Hawkins' story, as well as novels focussing on other youth movements such as Smoothies (1973), Punk Rock (1977) and the final Allen novel Mod Rule (1980). Altogether there were eighteen novels under the Richard Allen brand. James Moffat spent most of his final decade in obscurity, though he lived to see the reissue of the Richard Allen novels in the early 1990's. He died in July of 1993, while living in a nursing home in Newton Abbot.
